==One more road block for the time being==
Tried to add files for the maps of [[Con Cave]] & [[Colossus]], but neither of them show a picture. [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 15:14, 16 October 2013 (CDT)
:Ok, they apparently do show up if you don't alter them, but leaving them as being pretty big.  I don't know, since [[Con Cave]] is fairly short, text wise, I edited the map in.  If you think it's unpresentable as is, feel free to revert.  I'll be gone for the rest of the evening. [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 17:35, 16 October 2013 (CDT)
::It work.  And after I've relaxed a little more, I'm going to work on adding maps to each dungeon article.  That said, in case I need some pics not found on Woodus, are there any other sites we have to okay to use images from? [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 17:35, 17 October 2013 (CDT)
:::Ok, so I can use images from the other sites then? [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 00:51, 18 October 2013 (CDT)
 
==Check up on location name==
Is the [[Endor Teleportal]] referring to both the Shrine East of the [[Desert Bazaar]] and the Endor Shrine on the other side of the river, or just the latter?  [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 04:06, 22 October 2013 (CDT)
:Then would it be alright to just have an article titled [[Teleportal between Zamoksva/Endor]] or [[Zamoksva/Endor Teleportal]]? [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 14:29, 22 October 2013 (CDT)
 
==Another possible spambot==
http://dragon-quest.org/wiki/User:Odessa60Osk
 
Comment on the user page just seems nonsensical. [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 21:07, 22 October 2013 (CDT)

Spambot, with two non-DQ pages. [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 22:58, 5 November 2013 (CST)
 
Two more.  Linking to their talkpages:

==Question==
I've been talking with the site owner (http://www.realmofdarkness.net/dq/) about using his images here when appropriate, and he looks to be okay with it.  But he also asked me:
:''"Are you able to add this site as your affiliates on the
left menu tab that appears on all pages?"''
Also as he I and I both noticed, Zenithia.com seems to be down.  [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 14:54, 23 October 2013 (CDT)
 
I'm just going to post my new question here since the title of this isn't specific.  Now I haven't been able to locate any maps of the town of [[Mamon]] individually.  Only one I found is part of the [[Mamon Mine]] map, so I was wondering if merging MM with Mamon is okay? [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 15:16, 28 October 2013 (CDT)
 
So what's the policy when using something from the Dragon Quest Wikia?  Just include the notice at the bottom of the page?  I ask because it seems to be the only page that I found a good image of [[Maria]]: http://dragonquest.wikia.com/wiki/Maria
 
If anything, would I need to get permission from the uploader of that image?  Cause it looks like he was banned.  [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 22:39, 6 November 2013 (CST)
 
==Noted==
Now just for further clarity, all files or multiple files of a subject? [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 13:12, 24 October 2013 (CDT)
 
== DQVC ==
 
The page needs to be updated with the info from the main page and I would normally do this myself (I updated it on the last news update) but instead of having a PC like last time I have a 3ds which will not let me edit pages that large so mainly I here to ask/let you know about updating it with the new info and undo all the changes I made saying that this ''was'' available instead of ''is'' available. Thanks.[[Special:Contributions/162.72.211.120|162.72.211.120]] 01:54, 10 November 2013 (CST)
 
==Dragon Quest Wiki==
Hello. My name is [http://dragonquest.wikia.com/wiki/User:Kingemocut Kingemocut], and I'm one of the new admins for the older wikia you used to be a admin on. I was wondering if, by any chance, you would like to work together as a collective, as I know a lot of pages on this wiki use content from the Wikia, and I'm sure somewhere we have some stuff from your wiki.
 
you don't have to do so if you don't want to, but it'd be nice to link together our pool of collective users, and make both the wiki's as complete as possible. There's a lot of pages on the wikia (over 1000) that have under 100kb, or only a little text and/or an image, so it would help us out, and i noticed that your information about [[Farebury Region]] has less than [http://dragonquest.wikia.com/wiki/Farebury_Region ours] too, and no information about the town itself, so we could help you out too.
 
If you do not wish to join us again, then it's ok, but just ponder this request a little. It might just help us both out, and you never know, you might like the new newton layout. :) :P

==Nadiria or...?==
After my recent edit to [[Nadiria]], I just realized the name was never used in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'', but rather it was called the Dread Realm throughout the game.
 
That said, do you think it's close enough to merit staying on the page, or should I just create a page for Dread Realm?  [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 16:42, 14 January 2014 (CST)
 
==Have you played DQ VIII yet?==
You mentioned on your profile that you were going to play ''Dragon Quest VIII''.  Have you completed the game by chance?  Just asking as I wanted to ask for some advice regarding some spoiler tags, but I'll wait until you respond.  [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 00:10, 16 March 2014 (CDT)
 
==Trying to get an image to show==
Yeah, I have both an image and box for the [[Cursed belt]] on the article.  I tried to insert the image in that box (Tried File: and Image: too), but when I preview it, the image doesn't show.  [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 03:49, 28 March 2014 (CDT)
 
==Another imagine related problem==
http://dragon-quest.org/wiki/File:DQ_I_NES_Fighter%27s_ring.png
 
Using that page as an example, these pages show up completely blank now.  I thought it was my dad's computer at first, but even my laptop has problems showing these file pages.  [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 01:32, 3 April 2014 (CDT)
 
Apostrophes I don't think have anything to do with it.  The Cursed belt pic for example didn't show up when I went to the page.  Infact, yesterday I clicked on the pic for [[Trodain]] castle, and it showed, but now it's a no show.

==SEIWA==
Hi, I am TheFifteenthMember, an editor from the KHWiki. In our recent roundtable meeting, we agreed that SEIWA's status is practically dead and inactive so we proposed that the five members of SEIWA disband and continue on as independent sites. Former SEIWA members can then be linked to each other as affiliates. We'd like to know the Dragon Quest Wiki's thoughts on the matter; do you agree with this plan?
 
Apologies for dumping this on your talk page. I wasn't sure where to post. [[User:TheFifteenthMember|TheFifteenthMember]] ([[User talk:TheFifteenthMember|talk]]) 13:29, 12 September 2014 (CDT)
 
:Never mind, I've found a more fitting place to discuss the matter. The talk page of the main page has had previous SEIWA discussions so there will do. [[User:TheFifteenthMember|TheFifteenthMember]] ([[User talk:TheFifteenthMember|talk]]) 18:23, 13 September 2014 (CDT)

== Phone releases ==
 
Could you please update the main page to address the new releases on smart phones? They may be older titles with new paint, but it is the first time the original trilogy has been given the Plus-Alpha treatment.

== Heads up concerning some ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' edits I'll be making. ==
I'm going to be working to alter the references to the Phantom World and Real World by as a GameFAQ poster suggestion, renaming them the Upper World and Lower World.  Names are descriptive, while covering spoilers for players who have yet to defeat Murdaw.  I might even rename the articles, while still making use of the official names through redirect.

== New NIWA Wiki ==
 
Inkipedia has been inducted into NIWA. I'll upload the favicon for you. Also, the NIWA template on the Main Page shouldn't be in the right column, it should be on the bottom because it looks a bit crammed right now.

== Wiki design ==
 
Hi FlyingRagnar,
 
My name is KidProdigy, I've created an account IceKidd for whatever reasons, I've done the [[Nintendo 3DS]] page on this wiki. But anyways, I'm also quite skilled with creating templates, and creating original designs and I was wondering to do it the same for this wiki. I have high respect for your work, and ask you for permission to change the layout of the wiki as well the main page. If you disagree to that, I understand, its your wiki after all. You can see some of my work at Wikia, to have an idea what I actually mean and such.
 
I thank you for your time.

:Thank you for responding to my request. Well actually, I would like to revamp the entire wiki to give it more a look like a real Dragon Quest Wiki. I know that you and every contributors that are contributed to the wiki have done their best, but I would give you to chance to make me create a brand new wiki. Probably it is much asked with a task like this.
 
:What I want to do with the main page leaving the "Join the Quest" and "Dragon Quest News" section. Many of it actually needs an administrator to create something functional, so I can give you the codes so that you can add them. I will create a seperate sandbox of the main page and I will send the link to you so that you can look at it.
 
:The rest is just the overal wiki. I would like to change the templates as well as the entire wiki layout (all of it if you agree with it). And that's quite it. Hopefully you understand the project and I really want to make this wiki a better place for everybody.
 
:I thank you for your time.

I've tested it on a wiki I used to run, I can give you the code so you can add it.

Hi, I'm pretty sure I've worked the bugs out of the mobile friendly navbox at [[Template:Nav/draft]], but it needs some changes to site CSS to display properly. My user stylesheets are merged copies so can replace the site stylesheets. In Vector (desktop) skin, the new navbox will appear identical, except there is a line break when a new list starts, and bullets at a line break are hidden. In Minerva (mobile) skin, the two-column table will render as a single-column stack, to free up space from the left column and prevent overflow on the right. Also, in mobile.css, I rolled everything up as an @import of common.css to save some work for you in the future.

Sorry to drop another request so soon, but I made some goofs on mobile skin, and came up with some new tricks.
Hi, I was wondering how I could upload some images. Not really sure where to go to do that.
* Reverted @including common.css into mobile.css. Pain in the butt, I know, but I found out @include doesn't minify, so greatly increased the size of stylesheets being served.
--[[User:Sackchief|Sackchief]] ([[User talk:Sackchief|talk]]) 11:33, 18 June 2020 (EDT)
* Tweaked createJQueryTabs() to create links inside tabs. The template can only create links from text. Doing it in the script allows for image tabs.
* Added a .dragscroll class and script for e.g. large images, a .plain-list class for lists without bullet points, and a .pixels class for pixel images to keep them sharp when scaled, zoomed, pixel-split (many mobile displays), etc.
* Added pixel scaling to Vector skin header background.
* Found out mobile skin does <code>.navbox {display:hidden !important}</code> for some reason. Added an override.
* Fixed tabber script in mobile skin, I hope.

== Reader interactivity  ==
Sorry I was wrong


Do you have any thoughts on how our readers can ask for specific content? I've brought up the idea of a request feature of sorts to Zenithian and the major contributors, but I want as much input as I can get on the matter. Place yourself in a reader's shoes and brainstorm for a bit on ways you'd like to interact with the site--how would you want your request to get editor's attention, how such a system should be regulated, things like that. Chugging along with my monster data is fine, but I feel I could be doing more to address what people ''really'' want to know about the series.

==Image problem?==
FlyingRagnar I have been using this wiki for research and was wondering who founded this site -CC
I have not been uploading anything anymore, since when I try to upload a new image, I am automatically signed out. I can't figure out how to remain signed in, either. Also, my "Dragon Quest News" feed does not show up on the main page. Okay, apparently I CAN upload images, so long as the images are brand-new, not uploading over a pre-existing image (which, strangely enough, I've always been able to do until now). If I load up a page with an existing image, I am automatically signed out and am of course not given permission to upload anything. Weird, huh?
:User:Follower of Light thought maybe I recently installed a script blocking add on or something to my browser and forgot to allow certain scripts. Follower of Light then also tried uploading a brand new image and was promptly booted out. When Follower of Light tried to log back in he was told he was already signed in, and that he was not accepting cookies from the site. The newsfeed is also down for him. Are you aware of this problem? - [[User:Icysugarspike|icysugarspike]] ([[User talk:Icysugarspike|talk]]) 13:25, 4 February 2017 (CST)
::I don't think so. Perhaps, you could contact the others about this rewrite rule you've implemented. Thanks for the quick response (only joking).  - 05:50, 16 March 2017 (CDT)
